Wendy’s BLT Cobb Salad [Review]

As I embark on the Atkin’s Diet for the first time, I am going to be seeking out fast food menu items that can be Atkins Friendly, or can be modified to fit the diet.

Yesterday I strolled into Wendy’s in need of some mid day energy, and ordered myself the BLT Cobb Salad. At 9 Net Carbs this thing fits perfectly into my Atkins plan.

At first glance this thing was LOADED with toppings. Tons of chicken, hardboiled egg, bleu cheese crumbles, tomatoes, and lettuce. The bacon was quite sizeable too, however I would have preferred it to be chopped up not just laid across the top.

The salad was fresh. The mixed greens gave it great flavor and substance, and the Avocado Ranch Dressing put it over the top. I housed this thing in about 10 minutes and was definitely satisfied.

Atkin's dieter here as well(2 1/2 months in and down over 30lbs – including the holidays!), and these salads are the best. A definite go-to when on the road(if you can stop or aren't the one driving), or in need of a quick lunch/dinner. For low-carb folks, feel free to dump both packs of dressing on(full size); low-fat folks may want to restrain to just one(10.5g/packet). The only MAJOR issue is sodium… over 1600mg(215/packet from the dressing). However, for those not specifically restricted, it also offers just over 1000mg potassium, which helps balance sodium levels. Barring that; stuck on the road or short of time, this ~1lb salad is a powerhouse!
